I started having ERF problems on my Char-Griller 980, as so many have had. It burned me on Thanksgiving, (ended up having to use the oven), so I decided to give the Fireboard a try. I hooked it up for the first time yesterday - it took about 15 minutes - then primed the charcoal, set the temp to 250, and turned it on. Fan came right up. I had an initial overshoot to about 259, then after about 15 minutes, it settled down to a steady 250 for 4 hours.
I'm a happy camper.
For what it's worth, based on previous posts in the Facebood group, I set the PID to 0.5 and the max fan to 30%.
I recommend it!
Great company created by caring industrious people who were not afraid to pursue their dreams while producing useful intuitive new products that Americans are excited to see and wanting to buy! What a fabulous American success story, and great to see! I love your service, products, and the experience your company has to offer!
The free probe pack with the probe cases was a great Black Friday bundle deal!
Great value add on, was for a Christmas present and it really made it an awesome gift for a new member to the hobby.
I ordered Fireboard’s Black Friday special nd now have everything I need to raise my game!
I did a test pork butt and the Fireboard 2 drive with the G3 fan held my temps rock solid for hours without me fiddling with adjustments every 1/2 hour. The Black Friday probes were perfectly accurate and left the tiniest of holes. This is going to be a great year for barbecue!
Thank you so much for your quality products and world class service!
Keep it up, Fireboard!
I haven’t used this product too much yet, but it seems to work great! Everything seems to be of great quality and connection/setup was very straightforward. I’m excited to get more hours under my belt with this and expect it to work exactly as needed.
Added a second beacon to my fireboard to monitor my walk in cooler. Works great! I couldn't be happier with my Fireboard products. After searching years for an affordable way to monitor my wood boiler green house, cooler and air/soil temperature, Fireboard came through!
I’ve owned a FireBoard for years, the probes are durable and accurate
I love the integration of this thermometer. Last use, I had it display my Fireboard2 temps, including a pulse probe, on my refrigerator (magnets!) so that I could check on two briskets at once as well as the smoker temps.
When it was close to finishing, I used the built in probe to test other portions of the brisket to ensure it was really done before pulling them off the smoker. Awesome tool.
This thing is a beast! It reads faster than expected . You do not have time to burn yourself while measuring.
Perfect! Logo, hat quality and colors make this hat a must have for FireBoard enthusiasts!
Just received my pulse and FireBoard system 2 days ago and using commercially. It has been a game changer so far being able to schedule out my day around cooking and the prediction done times.
I have the Fireboard 2 and blower for my kamado and love it - the base holds the unit at a perfect angle and fits well.
I purchased from Home Depot an 8x3 inch, thin steel plate and have it sitting on the foldout next to my Kamoda Joe to secure my thermometers. The Fireboard magnetic base grabs the plate and hold the thermometer in place very well. I own three Fireboards and each are held tight in their own their own magnetic base.
The product exceeded my expectations. The hat was meaningless.
This probe was easy to use and gave me the same reading as my insta-read probe.
